The Return of the Monthly Sales List, Remembering Bernie Mireault, and An Appearance by Alan Moore— Comic Bookmarks October 26, 2024
I was sick last week so didn’t get one of these out so there’s interesting reads from the last couple of weeks here to catch up.
Enough with the politics. Part of being sick recently was that I kind of lost the drive to work on a longer review. I’m about 700 words into a review of Taiyo Matsumoto’s Tokyo These Days but lost the thread of it thanks to a head cold. And when I was a bit better, I just didn’t feel like writing any long pieces. So, instead, I did a week of short reviews. These were all written on my phone with the guideline that they had to fit into one screen of the phone. The conceit was to have one or maybe two ideas that I really looked at. That didn’t leave a lot of room to dive into anything (something I’m kind of sorry for when it comes to the Monsterpiece Theater #1 review.) But these were meant to be quick, short, and more how I felt about the book and not dragged out or really planned. If I’ve been spamming your feed or email this week, I’m sorry for that. But I enjoyed doing these reviews and need to figure out some way to work them into the regular rotation.
